The next Maple Heights
City Council elections will be held November 2013, and the Maple Heights African
American Gazette is supporting the following for council seats:

-

Dee Price, if she decides to run for the district 4 seat

Edwina Agee, unless Mrs. Neomia Mitchell decides to run again for the district 7 seat (if Mrs. Mitchell decides to run again, we will back her 100%)

At present, we will not be supporting Charles Crews Jr. as district 5's
council person. Mr. Crews was appointed councilman to fill a vacancy created due to the passing of an elected, but not sworn in official. Mr. Crews' appointment should be a temporary appointment.

Residents in
District 5 want a special election to be held this year which will
enable them to vote for their own council person (and not one picked by other members of council). It is their constitutional
right to vote for their own council person.

Open for discussion:
Do you feel that you are respected by your Maple Heights government, and/or do you feel that as an African American resident, your ideas, your right to a job in Maple Heights government, or job training is lacking?

In other words, do you as an African American feel you are taken seriously by this administration?

Do you feel safe in Maple Heights? We've recently noticed a rise in burglaries in Maple Heights (most of us know of someone in Maple Hts who has been burglarized w/in the past 6 months).

If there is anything that is bothering you about Maple Heights ... jobs, this administration, the local police, your city schools, treatment of African Americans (esp. the young and elderly) ... please let us know. You can remain anonymous.

We'll also be doing a poll in the near future, to find out what your concerns and priorities are.

Luke 11:9-10 says,

"So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

IT'S IMPORTANT THAT AFRICAN AMERICANS VOTE, AND THEN ONLY VOTE FOR POLITICIANS (LOCAL, STATE, FED) WHO WILL PROTECT THEIR CIVIL/CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.

IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT THAT AFRICAN AMERICANS VOTE FOR/HIRE PUBLIC EMPLOYEES IN THE LEGAL/JUDICIAL SYSTEM (INCLUDES THE COURTS, THE POLICE, ETC) WHO WILL PROTECT THEIR CIVIL/CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.--AND MOST IMPORTANT - TO VOTE FOR/HIRE ONLY THOSE POLITICIANS/PUBLIC EMPLOYEES THAT WILL EMPOWER AFRICAN AMERICANS POLITICALLY AND ECONOMICALLY. ...
